Re: oil dip stick Q

only way i would think that could happen is because of too much crankcase pressure, like a blown headgasket.

I have had my dip stick blown! :tup:
JK. I have never heard of that on any boosted application.

Crankcase explosion caused by gas in the crankcase. Not for sure if that was the real cause but I have seen it. Non turbo motor though.
